Coffee Mugs

I love my coffee mugs and there is nothing i love more then sitting in my cozy chair with a big cup of coffee a good book and a warm fireplace.Coffee is great, it smells great looks great and tastes great, so I always like to treat it great with a very special coffee mug. Not some ordinary plain mug from the supermarket but something that shows off a little of my personality, a mug just for me.Although I do love my coffee I am a hot drinks fan overall so tea and hot coco also grace my coffee mug from time to time.There are so many mugs to choose from out there as well as so many lovely coffees so dont stick to the same mug and same boring instant coffee, go out and explore what the world of coffee has to offer.

History of coffeeEthiopian ancestors of today's Oromo people were believed to have been the first to recognize the energizing effect of the coffee bean plant. However, no direct evidence has been found indicating where in Africa coffee grew or who among the natives might have used it as a stimulant or even known about it, earlier than the 17th century. The story of Kaldi, the 9th-century Ethiopian goatherder who discovered coffee, did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal. Other accounts attribute the discovery of coffee to Sheik Omar. According to the ancient chronicle (preserved in the Abd-Al-Kadir manuscript), Omar, who was known for his ability to cure the sick through prayer, was once exiled from Mocha to a desert cave near Ousab. Starving, Omar chewed berries from nearby shrubery, but found them to be bitter. He tried roasting the beans to improve the flavor, but they became hard. He then tried boiling them to soften the bean, which resulted in a fragrant brown liquid. Upon drinking the liquid Omar was revitalized and sustained for days. As stories of this "miracle drug" reached Mocha, Omar was asked to return and was made a saint. From Ethiopia, the beverage was introduced into the Arab world through Egypt and Yemen.Wikipedia
